Quick silly one but not sure what to do.

Friend has had a hard time so I've sent them a cream tea type surprise treat. Left the card anonymous but she finds it difficult to receive without reciprocating and I wanted her to have something just for her with no strings, to cheer her up.

She posts it on social media, another Friend (I don't know) comments, saying enjoy, glad you like, you deserve it type thing

My friend says ahhhh was it you, youre amazing

Other friend says wink wink it's anonymous so I guess you'll never know

Now, to me there alluding it was then. Taking all the bloody credit. I know I didn't send it for credit or even thanks but I'm a little pissed off!

I wonder if creamy fucker thinks someone who sends an anonymous cream tea wouldn’t be on Facebook?

Radio silence at the moment

I want a cream tea now

Creamy Fucker is priceless 😂

Maybe this thread has been orchestrated by the big Cream Tea industry to get us all wanting one, because I fancy one too now.

Finalstar · 22/04/2023 13:52

I am genuinely agog at people with the brass neck who do this. Do they never think they'll be called out??

Reply “No, but it seems they do credit-free ones!! Isn’t that right, @CheekyBitch?!

Friend says she's going to eat them at 3 pm because that's the rightful thing to do

Then she will post update photos in the comments

She's a good one

Could your friend perhaps photograph herself tearfully tucking into a juicy scone and tag the CF with her thanks??

Monstersinked · 22/04/2023 13:55

I better get sent bloody free cream teas if sales boost.

Finalstar · 22/04/2023 13:56

I'd be tempted to suggest to Tea Friend that she edits her original post to say the chat has been brilliant, but it's now time to say thank you to the genuine sender OP, with a special mention to Creamy Fucker for throwing her off the scent!

It avoids any overt nastiness. It will annoy the hell out of Creamy Fucker as she can't complain, and it will make everyone else think she looks bonkers for doing what she's done.

fivetriangulartrees · 22/04/2023 13:57

I've never looked forward to someone else eating a cream tea before.

Confusion101 · 22/04/2023 13:57

@Finalstar that sounds like CF was in on it with the OP though, like OP had told them to comment to throw her off the scent.

And then do a Daily Mail sad face for the article about being deceived by a friend and being left 'confused and shaken'.

Is it possible to get to your friend’s house for 3pm to get a photo? Then your friend can post a new pic in the comments saying ‘enjoying my lovely gift with the person who actually gifted it to me😍’

whynotwhatknot · 22/04/2023 14:00

this has really tickled me

happy birthday!

That was the only flaw in my plan!! I was teetering between suggesting Tea Friend does the whole be kind schtick, and going scorched earth.

Be a nice person won, which is unusual because normally I am a hard faced cow.
